All the world is a class room

Learning I believe is a continuous process and happens in both a formal environment as well as in an informal one, I personally feel more of learning happens in an informal environment right from the time one is a kid.

On, this very special occassion of teachers day I would like to thank all the people who has taught me or from whom I have learnt things, which at some point in life has made me what I am right now. My family and friends from whom I have learnt things about life and still keep learning. I truly appreciate the support and encouragement that I ve always been showered upon, this is what I feel is still keeping me going.

And ofcourse to all the teachers who have been a part of my life through my school and college days. I am so glad I was able to get in touch with a few of my teachers today and had a good chat with them after a real long time.

Happy Teacher's day! :)

Teacher's day

India celebrates the birthday of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former President and Vice-President and great statesman, as "Teachers' Day". Born on September 5, 1888, at Tiruttani, 40 miles to the north-east of Madras, Radhakrishnan grew to become the most famous Indian teacher and philosopher of all times. In his honour, this day is celebrated as Teacher's Day.
He was also the Vice-President of India from 1952-1962. He held the office of the Chancellor, University of Delhi, before taking over as the President of India in May 1962.

On Teacher's day I would like to thank all the teachers who played a very important part in grooming up my personality.. If it is not for them, I would not be what I am today... In that way a few of them are really very special to me for 2 reasons 1) They have taught me things which has helped me in future 2) I admire them for what they are and learnt in the process...

First, its my parents who brought me into this world and taught me so many things and much more which I learnt by observing them ... Then, my grandparents who were always on my side when my mom scolded me for the silly things I used to do ... This made me feel I'm special to somebody no matter what... Few of my friends who were there through my thick and thin and made me really understand in my worst times that its jus' a passing phase and this too shall go...

As much as my memory can recall , mrs. Muthuvadivoo Ramesh is someone special to me for she was the one who first thought I could dance and started training me for school programs ... She also trained me in my language skills and more so as she was also my 8th grade class teacher ...

Mrs.Julia Jhonson ... She was more supportive , whenever I had to go through my tough times , I also got a proficiency award when I was in her class :) .. She was fighting cancer until few years back and now she is in good health.. Im glad :)

Mrs. Sharada Ramoorthy.. very friendly, understanding ... I have never seen someone as patient as her.... We as children never felt like calling her maam , we were so tempted to call her aunty with the way she treated us..

Mrs. Julia Robertson ... She taught us lessons through her songs and let us have fun in our own way ..

Mrs.Parvathy .. Mrs. vedavalli .. They were the ones who brought the best out of me... thou' I was hardly present in their classes , I was mostly out practising music or dance for the forthcomin competition... Theirs were the PTA meeting I feared most...

Mr. Sozharajan and Mr. Pandian ... The first teachers who made History and geography fun to learn with their sense of humor ...

Ms.Rehana , my physical education teacher who very well knew im bad in sports and still enrolled me for sports events and let me try my luck... She was more like a friend...

Mrs.Sophia , my vice principal in secondary schooling who let me participate in all inter school culturals bunking classes :p

Mrs. Susan kuruvilla , who is one of the most favoured teacher as she helped us do whatever we liked.... Her accent of english is funny to say the least but very cute :)

Mrs.Chitra , my dance teacher... I owe her a lot...

Mrs.Celene Patrick , my kindergarden head mistress

My principals Mr J.D. Jhonson and Mrs. J.M. Sathya Kumari ...

This is a special year for my principal Mrs.Sathya kumari as she is getting a national award for her excellence in teaching... Congrats ma'am ...

If any of my teachers are reading it , I would jus' like to say I miss you all and would be glad to get in touch with you again ...

Apart from all of them , a few experiences in life and a lot of books which I read turned out to be some of the best teachers too !

Wish you all a very Happy teachers day , for each one of us are teachers in someway or the other !!

The teacher's day we celebrated in my 12th grade was the best, as it was the final year of schooling we had to wear saree and take the responsiblities of a teacher for a day...And my bad luck, I was appointed to go to another 12th grade where I was being bullied by my friends .. Very funny the day turned out to be.... Thanks for reading :D
